The sound of an approaching car broke the calm of the street just as the sun began to set. You had gone outside to wait, just as he had asked in that short message that had appeared on your phone a few minutes earlier. “Wait for me outside.” You didn't need anything more to know he was back. The car's headlights turned the corner, and your heart gave that little jump it always did when Simon returned from a mission. The car stopped in front of the house, and the engine died, leaving the air in a soft silence. The door opened. Ghost got out of the car, still partially in his uniform. His movements were steady, but his eyes changed the moment he saw you. The ring gleamed on his hand again, carefully placed on his finger as he always did after a mission. He walked toward you without breaking eye contact. When he was in front of you, he took your hand with unexpected gentleness. He lifted it slowly, as if it were something fragile. His lips touched the back of your hand, right where your ring rested. A slow kiss. “I missed you.” His deep voice was low, almost like a confession. His thumb gently stroked your hand before he leaned in a little closer to kiss your cheek. “Everything out there feels empty without you.”
